Changsha Evening News, Changsha, February 9 (Correspondent Qin Lu, Quan** Reporter Xu Yunyuan) During the Spring Festival holiday, relatives and friends visited for reunions and family banquets, and dietary rules were inevitably disrupted. Recently, Sun Yan, director of the Nutrition Department and deputy chief physician of the Nutrition Department of Changsha Central Hospital (Changsha Central Hospital affiliated to the University of South China), reminded this newspaper when answering questions about the popular science of the "Scientific Life Home" column that while enjoying delicious food, we should pay attention to our health and don't eat too much.
Don't overeat "hot", it will get hot. The Spring Festival is in the cold winter, and hot pot is often indispensable in the banquet, and Hunan people are spicy, so the "hot and spicy" in the New Year's dinner is naturally indispensable. Paired with fine wine, the atmosphere is even more lively. On the one hand, eating a large amount of overheated food may burn the esophagus, cause gastrointestinal discomfort, and may also cause constipation or induce hemorrhoids. Excessive alcohol consumption can cause damage to multiple systems such as liver, brain, nerves and digestion, increase the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, acute pancreatitis and other diseases, and cause accidents. Therefore, it is necessary to control the number of times you eat hot pot and the amount of alcohol you drink, and if necessary, you can use tea instead of liquor.
Don't eat too much "meat", it's easy to stick to the fat. Most of the meat dishes in the banquet are high-calorie foods, and with drinks and drinks, as well as snacks such as peanuts, melon seeds, and nuts, it is easy to burst the calories. Many citizens have such an experience: every Spring Festival, three catties of fat, a closer look is a kilogram, rounded up is ten catties. Therefore, Sun Yan suggested that the diet during the Spring Festival should be appropriately matched with vegetables and grains, and it is recommended to adjust the order of meals, first drink a bowl of light soup, then eat some vegetables, then eat big fish and meat, and finally eat some coarse grains, so that the diet is balanced, and the calories do not exceed the standard, and avoid sticking to the fat.
Don't overeat "full", it will cause indigestion. As the saying goes, "If you are full when you eat, you don't need to look for a doctor". During the Spring Festival, food is frequent, and it is easy for people to have "food excitement" and overeating. This often leads to an increase in the burden on the stomach and intestines, especially after eating high-fat foods, which is more likely to cause indigestion and even induce the occurrence of acute pancreatitis, gastroenteritis, or ulcers. Therefore, the best thing to do is self-control, eat in moderation, and eat eight points full.
Don't eat too much "cold" and hurt your stomach. At the holiday banquet, there are always cold drinks to match, at this time, the children ask to drink their favorite carbonated drinks, and the parents will not be too harsh, and most of them will be satisfied. If a greasy meal "collides" with a cool drink, the gastrointestinal tract of the human body will suffer from the torment of "** double heaven", which will not only reduce resistance, but also cause gastrointestinal intolerance.
In addition, due to some folk customs, "there is more than enough every year", resulting in too many dishes on the main meal and easy to leftovers, and after the Spring Festival, leftovers will be eaten for many days. If it is not stored properly, raw food and cooked food are not stored separately, or it is not thoroughly heated and cooked before eating, and eaten raw directly, etc., it is very easy to induce gastroenteritis, so we must be vigilant.
During the Spring Festival, don't relax and eat healthily, avoid 'four excesses', and maintain good eating habits in order to enjoy the joy and warmth of the Spring Festival. Sun Yan warmly reminded.
